What was with that bizarre fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin? Why would a
miller claim that his daughter can spin straw into gold? Why would
the king believe him? And why would a odd little man that can spin
straw into gold do so in exchange for a tiny gold ring? The story is
just silly. In an attempt to make sense of it all, Vivian Vande Velde
retells this wayward fairy tale, providing six alternative takes on
the classic account. All six are woven into rich chronicles - all of
which are far more intriguing and revealing than the original tale.
